LBSC and LSWR wagon kits from Cambrian under construction - part 3

Two more evenings work are represented here. Painting the wagons has proceeded, with the LSWR open getting a colour more representative of the correct one. I have used a thin coat of LSWR coach umber over the red oxide base colour - it is supposed to e a purple brown shade but once weathered I think it will look pretty close.

 

The transfers have been applied using te HMRS (ex-PC) Pressfix SR wagon sheet, which included lettering and numbers for the SEC, LBSC and LSW Railways. There are a couple of very minor repairs to make to the lettering and numbering, plus the dots between the tare weight numerals to add.

 

Still to do are a coat or two of matt varnish, to be followed with a bit of weathering.

Thanks for sharing this, I've been looking at the kits and wondering if I should give them a go (a little late for my period, but very tempting!). They do look good.

The kits were easy to build and inexpensive. They seem to be well thought out and the instructions also include a potted history of the relevant wagons with livery details and diagrams. While not perfect, these still go a long way to making the kits as accurate as possible to build.

 

I do have one of their large SR ballast hoppers to do and that will be a more complicated kit to build but the four-wheelers should be a doddle for beginners or more experienced modellers alike.
